Immediately after Hillary Clinton became the first woman to receive the official presidential nomination from a major political party, her husband and former U.S. president Bill Clinton tweeted his support for Hillary and her historic shattering of the "glass ceiling."

Also, in a historic symbolic gesture, Sen. Bernie Sanders made another motion toward party unity by motioning that the convention suspend procedural rules when it came to counting the delegate votes for the state of Vermont, which coincidentally, was the last state to undergo roll call.

"I move that the convention suspend the procedural rules. I move that all votes, all votes cast by delegates, be reflected in the official record. And I move that Hillary Clinton be selected as the nominee of the Democratic Party for president of the United States," Sanders said.
